Chapter Thirty-Eight: Heaven Falls into Darkness

Late yesterday night, the archangel Esfa, who was far away in the Angel Palace, was sensitive to the danger of the country after hearing about what happened to Saroya, and set off overnight to investigate the matter.

He knew that everything was behind the scenes by Blue Roñez, and that the demon must have been released from the Great Vero Water Prison by Lan Roñes through his connections, so he decided to go to the Great Vero Water Prison to find out. Before leaving the angelic palace, he first told his friend Mandovusius, who was also an archangel and was of the same age, and often dealt with him, and said: "I want to leave here for the time being, tomorrow at noon, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to participate, you know the emperor's character, and I also know his innocence, my determination is obvious, if I am not here and I want to vote, then I firmly deny any suspicion of the emperor, I have always been fair, this has nothing to do with the fact that I am his adopted son." ”

"Blue Ronnes, a reckless warrior who is ignorant and ignorant, rest assured, my dear Esfa, everything has its own Virgin's judgment!" said Mandovusius slowly.

With the courage and loyalty to declare his grievances for the emperor, Esfar left the Angel Palace and went to the Great Vero Water Prison, which was thousands of miles away. In order to save time, he found the evidence of Lan Ronnes' guilt before he was convicted in the days before the emperor's trial, and he only glanced at it when he passed through the Holy Creation Heavenly City on the way.

As dawn fell, the light of the cleansing sun descended on the eastern mountain streams, the vegetation was luxuriant, the flowers were fragrant, the wild creatures in the mountains were chirping, everything was full of vitality, but darkness was quietly rising in the shadows.

Raymond Wise, the elder of the three archangels in the Angel Palace, he was not given eternal life, but he was more than two hundred years old, he was an outstanding archangel during the time of the previous emperor, and the people of the whole country respected him, whether it was Esfaor or Mandovusius, who was raised by him, even if he was the emperor Saroya, he had to respect him for three points, which can be described as an out-and-out old-timer. He has a strict personality, is sincere in his adherence to the law, is fair and strict in everything, and never bends the law for personal gain. He has a childish face, a holy book in his left hand, and an archangel staff with silver angel wings in his right hand, like a saint.

After hearing about Sa Luoya, in the early morning, he personally came to the Holy Heavenly City, but this matter was carried out by him secretly, and he did not let the people who made the Holy Heavenly City, even the Emperor Sa Luoya, know. In his eyes, before the matter was completely investigated, Sa Luoya was just a suspected sinner, he was never emotional, and only spoke with conclusive evidence.

Saroa and his fellow relatives were sent to the Angel Palace by his subordinate angels in a carriage. Even the irascible Delaere was silent, and only the little prince, who was rash and reckless, said to everyone when he failed to board the carriage: "Are you grieving for this shame with your death-like silence and such a pale face?"

He shouted: "Why should we be taken to the Angel's Palace! In front of everyone's eyes, the farce of the Blue Ronnes should also be over, he is unbridled and lawless! We have not been able to sentence him to the penalty, but we have to play with him, how much time has been wasted on the affairs of the state, it is really a sorrow for the people! Shame on the heavenly city!"

"Don't say more!" Saloa reprimanded: "If you say such frivolous words here at a young age, how can you carry the burden on your shoulders in the future!"

"Father, we are willing to accept a fair trial no matter what the outcome, but this grievance and resentment in our hearts is difficult to swallow, and it has nothing to do with our trivial matters!

"Dignity is in the womb! Spit it out at the right time can be like a divine light, and not spitting it out can show your personality. Saroya said. "As my son, I should be a hundred times stronger than others, and as my son, I should know how to forbear, but as my son, we must not be insulted by others, and we will definitely give them back what they give us now!

"Mother, what do you think?" said the little prince.

"My child, listen to your father's instruction!" replied the queen.

Raymond Sid watched in the corner of the temple of the Holy Heavenly City, as Saroa and the others boarded the carriage and faded away under the escort of the angels. In his heart, he wanted to go to the imperial palace and Saroya's dormitory to find out, and at this moment, under a green hedge in front of him, a white snake-like creature burst out of the small flower-filled garden, which was Saroa's elven pet Ztabet.

Seeing this, Raymond Wisdom ignored it, he popped out a white point of light with one hand, turned into a white prison, and after covering Ztabet in it, the white prison suddenly turned into the size of a fourth-order Rubik's cube and returned to Raymond Wisdom's hand.

"You're Saroya's elven pet, where are you going?"

"Please spare me, honorable archangel, my master has not commanded me anything. Ztabet said.

"If you have not sinned, why are you so sneaky! ”

"What a misunderstanding!" shouted Ztabet.

"'The melon field is not down, and the plum is not neat!' The existence of misunderstanding is only because of the misunderstood thing. Raymond thought about it and walked slowly in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Ztabet was anxious, ashamed and blamed himself, the only thing that could comfort him was the music score that the emperor had given him, he had memorized it in his heart in this short time, the score had been burned, and the angelic palace's spiritual method of learning other people's memories was ineffective against the elf, as long as he kept silent, no one would try to know his secret.

At noon, Saroa and her kinsman were judged in the Angel's Palace. Present at the deliberations were the two authoritative archangels of the Angel Palace, Raymond Wisdom and Mandovucius, who did not bring Ztabette to the judgment hall for the sake of secrecy. In addition, there were many angels from the Angelic Palace, hundreds of representatives of the people, five priests of all ranks, and elders with insight from various dioceses, and the judgment hall was solemn and splendid.

High above the judgment table, Raymond Wisdom sat side by side with Mandovucius. The empty one of the three seats on it stands out.

"What about Esfa? Why isn't he there? The trial is about to begin. Raymond Wisdom asked Mandovusius solemnly.

"That guy can't come, but he's shown me his determination, he never thought that Emperor Saroya would collude with the demons, which seems ridiculous to me!" replied Mandovusius slowly.

"It's ridiculous, but Esfa's behavior is even more ridiculous!" said Raymond Wisdom solemnly, "People often disguise their ugly hearts with a pious appearance, and I only believe in the truth of the law and the things of life. ”

At this moment, Espha was moving forward in front of the mountain fortress of the sixth order of Adona, and his five-tone spirit magic helped him gallop all the way, but the white soldiers on the battlements stopped him in front of the city gate. He's been wasting too much time here.

"Don't stay up any longer, honorable archangel, whether you are an archangel or some other more authoritative official position," shouted the soldier on the wall, "wrong! It is precisely because you are an archangel that we are inconvenient to let you pass, we are not fools who do not know the news, now our country is in chaos, no matter how clear and quiet the night is, the affairs of the emperor have already reached our ears, and those great ministers from all over the country have hurriedly driven our country's divine horses in the morning. How rare it is for Natense to go to the Angel's Palace to participate in the trial, how could we not know that we who are guarding this important place. You are a member of the Angel Palace, an important person who wants to participate in the trial, and if you do not participate in the deliberations, we will let you go even though we have seen you. ”

"I've wasted too much time arguing with you fools here. As soon as Esfar finished speaking, he heard a pleasant ringing sound, and he disappeared into a crack between heaven and earth.

"Archangel, Archangel!" shouted the crowd, "He has passed the fortress!"

At this time, the trial in the Angelic Palace was halfway through, and all the representatives of the people and the majority of the people in power loved Saroa and respected his virtues and achievements, and only a few talked about his faults. If this continues, Saroadam will be acquitted and return to the throne, while Blue Roñez will naturally be demoted to a commoner and put in prison.

"Noble Emperor Saroa! Although everyone's opinion of you is sincere, the person who knows you best must be yourself. In the name of Our Lady, the most basic truth of being a human being is not to blaspheme against your heart, and you don't need to make false vows that point to the day of the oath, you only need to open your heart and say your sincerity!" Raymond Wisdom said solemnly with the angelic staff in his hand, "Please don't spare your own mouth and tongue to say a word from the bottom of your heart, what happened last night's dirty thing has anything to do with you?"

Everyone was in an uproar, thinking that the result could be imagined.

"Yes, yes," said Saroya, clearing her throat and pausing, as the noise subsided. "Your Excellency the Holy Archangel, the affairs of the demon people are related to me. ”

These words were like angry thunder that struck everyone on the scene, and everyone was shocked, and all of them were startled from the big seat, and the noise began again. Raymond Wisdom and the others were shocked.

"Silence!" he shouted, and the crowd fell silent again.

"Honorable Emperor Saroya, what did you just say? Can you repeat it? This is a major matter related to the honor of your future life, please consider it carefully. Raymond Wisdom said.

"There's nothing to consider, that's the way things are, otherwise what else can I do?" Sa Luoya said with a smile on her face: "Listen! All the dignitaries with noble conduct, the affairs of the demons are related to me, those demons were originally left by me in the Great Vero Water Prison to observe their behavior in order to better resist the demon soldiers, all of them are my reasons, and the responsibility lies with me, if you don't hear clearly, then I repeat it again! I colluded with the demons! I committed a serious crime! I know the sins of the Sith, and I am willing to suffer from prison!"

There was another uproar, and it took a long time for the crowd to calm down.

"What a lowly person who colluded with the demons!" Raymond Wisdom said in a loud voice: "My Emperor Saroya, you know how sad I was when I scolded this! O Holy Mother, God! Please tell me why, why do you do such an unseemly deed! Your relatives will be affected, your courtiers will be disgraced by you, and your people will be harmed, why? Thief! Tell me quickly!"

"Dear archangels, there is no why, just as the grass will be dyed green when spring comes, the trees will bear fruit when autumn comes, and everything will wither and wither when winter comes, just as a chicken's egg will break when it touches a stone, a river will flow low, a flame will shine, and the sun will give warmth. ”

"No, why, why?" asked Raymond Wise.

"That's a paradox, man is the ruler of the spirit, ** is a tool, have you ever heard of a consciousness that is called the subconscious by those scholars who are full of academic terms, like sleepwalking. "If there's a reason, it's because of this monster." ”

"Crazy talker, mentally ill, is your argument just to alleviate your sins? That is impossible!" said Raymond Wise, "and everyone has heard the words of Saroa himself, and I believe that although I am old, my ears will never go wrong, it is a heart-wrenching word." ”

"Remembering your past deeds, Our Lady forgives you for your sins, come, bring last night's emperor and today's prisoners to prison, and at the same time check the Great Vero Water Prison, and Blue Ronnes will be tried in two days, and as for the prince and queen and the predecessors of Delare, according to the guidance of the strict laws of our country, confinement in the angelic palace!"

"It's incredible!"

"It's like a dream. ”

"But it's a wise verdict. ”

The crowd talked.
